Maori elders say Laura Simms is as good [a storyteller] as our grandparents. She is a contributing editor to Parabola magazine and co-chair of the National Healing Story Alliance. In these tales she unveils the secrets of love in all its forms. The stories are passionate, riveting and often humorous and they come from a variety of traditions including Celtic, Inuit, Persian, Hindu, Jewish, and African. Irresistible.
